PoetryThursday:The prompt for this week's Poetry Thursday is sex. Although I didn't write this poem but found it . I give credit to Master Revelation for it's creation.I really like this poem because it is funny and so sadly appropriate for those of us at middle age. LOL.I'm BreathlessI'm not too fit,I'll have you knowI'm overweight and rather slowBut when I run, I manage thoughI'm Breathless!Though in the past it was not thus,I am not one to swear or cuss,Except that I am trying to catch a bus,I'm Breathless!When as a youth,I used to play with sweet young ladies in the hay,The girls would be the one to say;I'm Breathless!At sport I'd always stay the courseI was as strong as any horsebut now with just a little force,I'm Breathless!I guess my life has reached the stage,When these things happen at my age.If all my passions I assuage,I'm Breathless!I have my annual body checks,and find out if I need new specs,But sadly when I'm having sex,I'm Breathless!No longer now do I aspireTo climb a mountain,walk on fire;Instead I curb each wild desire,I'm Breathless.Master Revelation-author with credit givenI am very new to poetry but trying to learn and finding that I like it very much.I really like this poem as it sums up my take on this subject even on this topic it should still be about fun and not taking yourself too seriously.
